Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic aluminum technology, specifically to a carbon slag box with automatic material discharge capability. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the slag collection method in the electrolysis workshop is to collect it every shift and store it in slag boxes. Each morning, it is transported to the roasting workshop by tricycle. The daily capacity of a single slag box is 500 kg. When the slag is collected by the tricycle, the driver needs to board the vehicle and manually open the gate valve at the slag box discharge point. However, due to the large volume of slag, the pressure on the gate valve is high, making manual opening of the gate valve time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a charcoal slag box that can automatically discharge materials, so as to solve the problem that the existing gates need to be opened manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a charcoal slag box that can automatically discharge materials, including a box body, a gate that is longitudinally slidable on the front side of the box body, and a hydraulic mechanism that is fixedly connected to the gate and used to drive the gate to slide longitudinally.

[0005] It also includes a winding wheel mechanism, which includes a winding wheel rotatably mounted on the housing and a chain wound on the winding wheel. The end of the chain away from the winding wheel is fixed to the gate. Multiple connecting plates are arranged at intervals along the length of the chain. Each connecting plate is provided with a socket. The gate is provided with multiple teeth. The axis of the teeth is at an angle to the gate, and the angle opening faces downward. The teeth can be inserted into the sockets.

[0006] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: The gate is automatically controlled via a hydraulic mechanism, which is simpler to operate than manual operation and eliminates the need for manual intervention. This achieves automatic discharge of the slag box, improving operational efficiency while reducing safety hazards. Simultaneously, a winding wheel mechanism assists in opening the gate. The teeth on the gate insert into the holes on the chain, and the chain synchronously pulls the gate up, allowing for a more stable rise when opening. The synchronous drive control of the gate by the hydraulic mechanism and the winding wheel mechanism provides dual assistance, making it less likely for the gate to fall during opening and increasing the safety factor. The downward-facing opening of the teeth facilitates insertion into the holes, and the holes provide upward support for the teeth after they enter, ensuring a strong pull of the chain on the gate.

[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, all the sockets are angled holes, with the upper end of the socket close to the gate and the lower end far away from the gate.

[0008] By setting the insertion hole as an angled hole using the above method, the insertion teeth can be inserted into the insertion hole more accurately. After this connection, the insertion hole can better support the insertion teeth upwards, ensuring the connection effect between the chain and the insertion teeth, and making the chain pull the gate more powerfully.

[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the socket is provided with a magnetic attraction element, and the insertion teeth can be attracted to the magnetic attraction element.

[0010] The above scheme, with the addition of magnetic components, makes the connection between the chain and the gate more stable, which is beneficial for controlling the chain's pulling on the gate.

[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, the winding wheel is connected to a braking mechanism, which includes a friction wheel fixedly mounted on the winding wheel, a lead screw rotatably mounted on a housing outside the friction wheel, a nut sleeve threaded onto the lead screw, a friction block fixedly connected to the nut sleeve, the friction block slidably connected to the housing, and the friction block can abut against the friction wheel.

[0012] With the above solution, when the gate falls rapidly during the lifting and lowering process, rotating the lead screw can cause the nut sleeve to move along the lead screw axis, thereby contacting the friction wheel and braking the winding wheel to prevent the gate from falling rapidly and causing a safety accident.

[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the lead screw is a double-ended lead screw, and there are two nut sleeves and two friction blocks, with the two friction blocks located on both sides of the friction wheel.

[0014] With the above scheme, since the threads at both ends of the double-ended screw rotate in opposite directions, when the double-ended screw rotates, the two nut sleeves drive the friction blocks to move in opposite directions and clamp the friction wheel, thereby enabling rapid braking of the winding wheel.

[0015] Preferably, as an improvement, the friction block is in the shape of an arc that matches the edge of the friction wheel.

[0016] By designing the friction block into an arc shape, the friction block has a larger contact area when it contacts the friction wheel to brake the winding wheel, thus enabling more effective and rapid braking. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following detailed description provides further details on specific embodiments, but the embodiments of this utility model are not limited thereto. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the following embodiments are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art; the experimental methods used are all conventional methods; and the materials and reagents used are all commercially available.

[0021] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings of the instruction manual include: 1. housing, 2. gate, 3. hydraulic cylinder, 4. winding wheel, 5. chain, 6. insertion hole, 7. insertion tooth, 8. friction wheel, 9. lead screw, and 10. friction block.

[0022] Implementation, for example Figure 1 As shown: A charcoal slag box that can automatically discharge materials includes a box body 1. A gate 2 is longitudinally slidably provided on the front side of the box body 1. A hydraulic mechanism is provided on the box body 1. In this embodiment, the hydraulic mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder 3. The hydraulic mechanism is fixedly connected to the gate 2 and is used to drive the gate 2 to slide longitudinally.

[0023] It also includes a winding wheel mechanism, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the winding wheel mechanism includes a winding wheel 4 rotatably mounted on the housing 1 and a chain 5 wound on the winding wheel 4. One end of the chain 5 away from the winding wheel 4 is fixed to the gate 2. Multiple connecting plates are sequentially spaced along the length of the chain 5, each with an insertion hole 6. The rear of the gate 2 has multiple insertion teeth 7, with an angle between the axis of the insertion teeth 7 and the gate 2, and the angle opening facing downwards, allowing the insertion teeth 7 to be inserted into the insertion holes 6. All insertion holes 6 are angled holes, with the upper end close to the gate 2 and the lower end away from the gate 2, resulting in an inclined state. A magnetic attraction element is provided inside the insertion hole 6, allowing the insertion teeth 7 to engage with the magnetic attraction element.

[0024] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the winding wheel 4 is connected to a braking mechanism, which includes a friction wheel 8 fixedly mounted on the winding wheel 4. A lead screw 9 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1 outside the friction wheel 8. A nut sleeve is threaded onto the lead screw 9, and a friction block 10 is fixedly mounted on the nut sleeve. The friction block 10 is slidably connected to the housing 1, and the friction block 10 can abut against the edge of the friction wheel 8. In this embodiment, the lead screw 9 is a double-ended lead screw, and there are two nut sleeves and two friction blocks 10, which are located on both sides of the friction wheel 8. The friction block 10 is arc-shaped to fit the edge of the friction wheel 8.

[0025] The specific implementation process is as follows: When it is necessary to open the gate 2, the hydraulic cylinder 3 and the winding wheel 4 work at the same time. The hydraulic cylinder 3 pulls the gate 2 upward to open the slag box. At the same time, the winding wheel 4 rotates to wind up the chain 5 to assist in pulling the gate 2 upward. Compared with manual operation of the gate 2, the operation is simpler and does not require manual operation. This improves the efficiency of operation and reduces safety hazards.

[0026] If the gate 2 falls during the pulling process, the drive screw 9 will rotate, causing the nut sleeve to move the friction block 10 towards each other along the axial direction of the screw 9 and press against the friction wheel 8, thereby braking the winding wheel 4 and stopping the gate 2 from falling, thus avoiding a safety accident.

[0027] Once the obstacle is removed and the equipment returns to normal, the two friction blocks 10 are moved in opposite directions by rotating the lead screw 9 in the reverse direction, thereby releasing the friction wheel 8 and allowing the winding wheel 4 to work normally.

[0028] When it is necessary to lower gate 2, hydraulic cylinder 3 drives gate 2 to move downwards in an orderly manner, while winding wheel 4 releases chain 5 in an orderly manner, so that gate 2 descends smoothly. During the descent, combined with... Figure 3 As shown, the teeth 7 on the gate 2 are inserted into the holes 6 on the chain 5 in sequence. Through the cooperation between the holes 6 and the teeth 7, the chain 5 has a certain upward pulling effect on the gate 2 to prevent the gate 2 from moving down quickly and to ensure the smooth descent of the gate 2.

[0029] It is understood that the winding wheel 4 and the lead screw 9 in the above embodiments can be automatically driven and controlled by an external drive device, such as a motor, without the need for manual drive.

[0030] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this utility model. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
